Profile Summary
Danny Dalton, given to the State from birth and adopted at the age of 9, by the Hall family Ray (father) Joan (mother) two brothers Phillip, Mathew and three sisters, Melissa, Rachel and Nicky.

Mathew, the youngest brother MET Danny at the state home through their combined love of music. Mathew soon introduced the Hall family to Danny. Danny was not just adopted as one of the family, he was Danny Hall. He soon became Joan's favourite and the household EMBRACED Danny as family!

Danny had a BIG personality! Loved listening to music and singing, anywhere there was a microphone, Danny was there! He loved gardening so much, he worked in the local nursery. HE dearly loved his loved his family and had a very special place for his loving Grandy, Henry Dalton. He did have a special place in his heart though for Isla Fisher, he was certain she one day would be his bride. Danny was also sports CRAZY, LOVED Cricket the Penrith Panthers and ten pin bowling.

His favourite foods in the world were McDonalds, Mars Bars and a can of coke! Do not get in between Danny and his FOOD

Danny was on the mild spectrum of down syndrome and would occasionally get down on himself for being down syndromed.

Danny tragically passed away in a house fire. His Father Ray fell from the second story of his house with Danny in his arms trying to safe him, sheltering him from the fall.

Danny's ashes and Memorial lay rest at the Hall's home where his photos are featured in every room of the house. Joan and Ray are delighted at Danny's name being highlighted as a crucial element of our business purpose. The Hall's do not want to be the highlight as they feel the honour of having Danny was the highlight of their lives. Nicky, the youngest is a disability support worker . We grieve him today, but the Hall's gave him the most incredible full life in those 9 years in which he was enabled and encouraged and lived his best life.

Meet Sally
Sally was a nurse & had a daughter. She loved cats and took in any strays; her favourite was Wagon-Train who was 1 of 10 in Sally's home - they were INSEPARABLE.

Sally was diagnosed with a rare condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth and was deemed a quadriplegic. This changed the rest of her life. No longer able to walk, shower or dress herself. In the last few months of her life, she had Support Workers with her 24 hours a day in her home.

Sally was funny, generous and was never afraid to tell you what she wanted. Her favourite pass times were watching her beloved Hawthorn, Coronation Street and listening to the Beatles.

Sally could and would talk to anyone, she made good friends with her neighbours, Support Workers and even her access cab driver. Sally liked things done a certain way, sometimes to the millimetre. Meeting the right workers and team was crucial to making sure this could be achieved for and with her.

Sally sadly passed away in her home, surrounded by her daughter and those closest to her, listening to The Beatles.

Wagon-Train passed away days after Sally, they really were inseparable. Remembered and loved forever, she is dearly missed.
